Gokhan Saki dazzled MMA fans with a stunning first-round knockout against Henrique da Silva in his UFC debut back in September.
Saki’s incredible kickboxing background demonstrates a level of striking not commonly seen in the UFC, and thankfully his next opponent will oblige him in a stand-up scrap.
Saki has been rebooked to fight Khalil Rountree at UFC 226 after an injury forced Saki out of their original match-up at December 30’s UFC 219:

Saki obliterated da Silva in his promotional debut, but before that, he hadn’t fought in MMA since a 2004 loss. That makes it 13 years in between MMA bouts, yet Saki kept busy in kickboxing, winning the Glory light heavyweight title and tournament, as well as a runner-up in several K-1 tournaments.
Meanwhile, Rountree shook off a rough 0-2 start to his UFC career by scoring two brutal knockouts in a row. Rountree competed at UFC 219 and lost to Micha? Oleksiejczuk in Saki’s absence, however that loss was overturned to a no contest after Oleksiejczuk tested positive for a banned substance.
Rountree’s stand-up, striking-based style is exactly what Saki is looking for in an opponent, but will Saki’s kickboxing experience prove to be too much for Rountree?
UFC 226 takes place on July 7th in Las Vegas.

After a successful UFC debut last month, decorated kickboxing champion Gokhan Saki is set for a quick turnaround.
The UFC has officially announced that Saki will return at UFC 219 on Dec. 30, 2017 against Khalil Rountree in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Holding a professional kickboxing record of 83-12, Saki announced earlier this year that he would be making his return to mixed martial arts after losing his only bout by way of TKO in 2004. He made his UFC debut at UFC Japan against Henrique da Silva, scoring a brutal first round victory.
Rountree, on the other hand, is coming off of back-to-back stoppage victories over the likes of Paul Craig and Daniel Jolly. Prior to that, he had suffered back-to-back UFC losses.
UFC 219 does not yet have a main event, but multiple high profile bouts have been announced for the card. Former bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz will return to take on surging contender Jimmie Rivera and former interim welterweight champion Carlos Condit will also make his return against Neil Magny.
